Usage

Create a Typeface

Typeface face = new Typeface(myFontFile);

Create an atlas

GlyphAtlas atlas = new GlyphAtlas();

Create a Font from the Typeface and set options

Font boldFont = new Font(face, atlas);

boldFont.weight(800); // Sets the OpenType MM weight
// if doesn't have weight/variations
boldFont.setSyntheticBold(.01f);

Draw:

@Override
public void render() {
    batch.begin();
    batch.setColor(Color.WHITE);

    boldFont.drawText(batch, "Hello, World!", 48, x, y);

    batch.end();
}

After use:

font.dispose();
atlas.dispose();
face.dispose();
